Set to be available for lease in 2026, 1153 Washington Street represents a new chapter for Lower Mills—where design, accessibility, and neighborhood legacy converge. Leasing will be exclusively managed by Andrea Arcari.
One of Monarc Development’s most ambitious undertakings to date, 1153 Washington Street introduces a transformative new presence to the heart of Lower Mills. Spanning a 12,101 square-foot site, this ground-up development will deliver a thoughtfully designed four-story building featuring 24 residential units, including three designated affordable IDP residences, alongside 1,650 square feet of curated ground-floor commercial space.
Designed with both lifestyle and longevity in mind, the property will also feature a semi-enclosed garage with 18 off-street parking spaces—an elevated convenience seamlessly integrated into the building’s ground level.
Residents will enjoy access to a communal rooftop deck designed for gathering, relaxation, and unobstructed views—an extension of the living experience that prioritizes both community and escape.

The architectural vision, led by RODE Architects Inc. under Eric Robinson, emphasizes a contextual aesthetic—thoughtfully scaled, proportioned, and detailed to complement the existing streetscape while introducing a refined, contemporary edge
Positioned at the dynamic intersection of Washington Street, Adams Street, Dorchester Avenue, and the Neponset River, this site presents a rare opportunity to contribute to the continued evolution of one of Boston’s most character-rich neighborhoods. The design approach carefully balances modern living with historical context, drawing inspiration from the surrounding industrial fabric—most notably the iconic Chocolate Factory Lofts—to create a building that feels both intentional and enduring.
